Dear META HOUSE friends,

One week before the highly anticipated PRIDE 09 (film fest & exhibition)
starts at Meta House we are inviting you to

PHOTOMOTION,
this Tuesday (May 5), 7PM.

Cambodian-based photograher Anders Jiras (Sweden) presents his time-lapse
movie GAMMEL-KLEPPE with a pin peat soundtrack (recorded at Sovanna Phum
Theatre).

Presentation is followed by the highly recommended photo art documentaries
HEROINES and PRISONERS OF AGE by Canadian director Stan Feingold (who
documents the heavily discussed "Miss Landmine" project in Cambodia).
"Prisoners of Age" is a point-of-view documentary about photographer Ron
Levine's groundbreaking work with geriatric convicts. "Heroines" is an
immersion onto the world of Lincoln Clarkes and his photographic obsession
with forgotten women of the street – drug addicted prostitutes in
Vancouver/Canada.

If you can't make it try to visit us for the following events:
